title: Chemically modified and unmodified anti-D (Rho) reagents in the micro Du procedure.
abstract: The ability of anti-D (Rho) reagents containing chemically modified and unmodified IgG molecules to detect fetal-maternal hemorrhages was compared using mixtures of Rh negative adult red blood cells and Rh positive cord red blood cells. No significant differences among reagents were observed in this small study. These results do confirm the reported lack of sensitivity of the micro Du method as a fetal red blood cell screening test.
